Burger King: Promoting a Food Fight

From reading all five articles, the one I would have to agree with the most would be, “The Battle Against Fast Food Begins in the Home,” by Daniel Weintraub. Weintraub stated that if we are looking for someone to blame about our child obesity rate increasing in extreme amounts and our exercising rate decreasing, we should blame the guardians of the kids. To be more specific, if you have obese children, stop blaming them about their problem. Start to blame yourself. You are the cause to their problem by not teaching them that eating healthy is super important.

As the Obesity rate in America is steadily increasing, people will continue to point fingers right at the fast food industries, but is that who really to blame or is it your parents for poor food choices(Weintraub)? Parents are a huge role in their child’s life and if you just let your children sit on the couch all day play on the computer, they will end up nowhere in life that is just my opinion. Research says 30 percent of our country’s residents are overweight, which means people are still not being healthy that’s when parents need to take matters into their own hands and buy actual food and not be cheap go fast food all the time(Sloviter). Also type 1 and 2 diabetes are at record highs and still rising at some point will be at a state

Fast Food Nation: The Darker Side of the All-American Meal is very interesting and stimulating. The author, Eric Schlosser, makes excellent points in all his chapters, for example in the epilogue he describes how we can make a difference and that is by not buying fast food and by going somewhere else to eat. Also is chapter ten, he explains how the fast food industry is like a circus. However, not every chapter is as critical for people to read as chapter one. Chapter one is the most important chapter because it describes how fast food originated (the founding fathers), the chapter shows how corrupt and back-stabbing the fast food industry has become, and how gullible Americans can be.

In the article the “ The Battle Against Fast Food Begins At Home “ the author, Daniel Weintraub believes that the problem with obesity is the parents fault. The fast food industry are not the main culprit here. He supports these claims by showing statistics and data from studies done by scientists. He shows that if parents take action the restaurants can’t stop them. This is clear through the adults that take action and the ones who don’t.

Daniel Weintraub in the article, “The Battle Against Fast Food Begins in the Home” argues that parents not fast food companies are to blame for kids being obese. Weintraub supports his argument by providing evidence and research that mainly focus on “...The increasing consumption of fast food and soft drinks, ...” (prgh.8) The author’s main purpose of this article was to inform and aware parents/ guardians that they need to take their own responsibility rather than blaming others for something they have control over in the home. The author writes in an informal tone towards adults with children in their possession.

food corporations will not stop growing. Fast food restaurants serve more than 50 million people a day in America.

One of the most controversial discussions in today's world is concerned with hobby issues. A variety of foods and drinks belong to indiscreet and fundamental parts of every ceremony and party.

Fast food is hot food, such as; chips, that one get from certain types of restaurants, and which get served very quickly after a customer’s order. Numerous people still consider hospitals places where the diseased get attended to, and where doctors treat illness into wellbeing. However, these thoughts could not be further from reality. Other than being cesspools of anti-toxin safe "superbugs" and foulness much of the time, many U.S clinics, including children hospitals, keep on giving patients fast food and claim they are safe for the health of the patients. They also do this to visitors in their hospital cafeterias and entryways. The aggregation Corporate Accountability International (CAI); which is a customer support bunch, as of late sent a formal letter to 21 U.S hospitals that still serve to visitors and guests, urging them to "quit cultivating a nourishment environment that only bring harm to the health of people, not wellbeing.

McDonald’s began as a barbeque, and the brothers strictly offered burgers, fries, and pop. Ray Kroc heard about McDonald’s one day and went to visit the restaurant. Kroc was surprised by their efficiency and the quality of the food. Kroc liked the fact that the brothers could focus on the quality of food, due to the limited menu items. Subsequently Kroc realized their success could amount to much more and shared his vision. Kroc told the McDonald brothers that McDonald’s could be a national business serving people across the country. (At this point, Kroc did not even think about being international). Dick and Mac were thrilled with what they heard, so in 1955 Kroc founded the McDonald’s Corporation and opened the first McDonald’s in Des Plaines, Illinois. By 1960 Kroc had bought exclusive rights to McDonald’s. In 1961, Kroc developed Hamburger University where new employees were trained on how to run a successful McDonald's. Kroc wanted to develop the most efficient methods to store, cook, and sell food, so he had a laboratory built at Hamburger University where students' test different ways to make McDonald's more productive. Hamburger University is still in use today in the search for ways to better McDonald’s. McDonald’s had their first sit-down restaurant in 1962, and then in 1975, McDonald’s had opened their first drive-thru restaurant in Arizona. The first drive-thru restaurant was
